Over the summer I launched an inquiry via my Instagram page hoping to capture some images in and out of the water. I was thrilled when mutual acquaintance and talented macrame artist Michelle Lavallee was “up for anything.” With summer at its peak, we headed over to Sandy Point Beach in Portsmouth, Rhode Island for some creative fun. Michelle was a trooper in and out of the water during this whimsical and transcendent shoot.
